Before Khan Ama returned to Beijing, Yinfeng was preparing to sort out a plan for the expansion of steelmaking, so that he could submit it for approval as soon as Khan Ama returned to Beijing.Then he had to hand over the drawings of the revolver given by the system to Dai Zi. He also had to talk to Dai Zi about the various problems of putting the firecracker into production.

He also had a whim, Zuo Jinfu's side had just started construction, and before the foundation of the dam was laid, if Jingshan could get a batch of good steel to be produced, the steel could be used in the dam In terms of the construction of the dam, it not only proves the need to expand the scale of steelmaking, but also adds a solid and durable foundation to the dam, which is simply perfect.

You can also ask him to take a look at Khan Ama. Apart from making weapons, this blast furnace steelmaking is also very useful in other places.

But whether the production progress can catch up is still very critical.Therefore, it is necessary to urge Jingshan to start work early.And whether he agrees to it or not is also crucial.In order to catch up with the progress, and to get Khan Ama to agree, Yinfeng had to go to Jingshan to explain to Dai Zi in person.

Today, the treasury's money is mainly used for two purposes, one is the newly started dam on the Yellow River, and the other is the training of mariners in Fujian.It’s a good thing that the dam has a complete budget plan, and Yao Qisheng on the navy’s side just blindly asks the court for money, and there is a posture that the expansion will continue without anyone calling for a stop.So the navy may still be a bottomless pit.

Of course, Yinfeng didn't want to stop Yao Qisheng, and he was doing it himself to prepare for a rainy day.It's just that he intuitively said that for these two major events, Khan Ama may deliberately reduce expenditures on other minor matters.

Especially after the great victory over Russia, Khan Ama already expressed his intention to transfer Dai Zi back to the South Study Room in several words.At that time, there will be no principal in Jingshan, and it will be removed in about half a year.

Yinfeng didn't want to start weapon manufacturing so early. If the strength of the Qing Dynasty could not completely compete with Europe, then sooner or later it would be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered by others.In addition, in order to lay the foundation for the industry of the Qing Dynasty, the major event of steelmaking had to be left alone.

He still wants to take advantage of the Dongfeng of steel training to build a steam engine for himself, so he must not be called Khan Ama who has the idea of ​​​​abandoning Jingshan now.

Especially after knowing that sooner or later European foreigners will fight hand to hand with the Qing Dynasty, it is even more difficult to call the matter of steelmaking halfway.

After explaining the accounts to the servant of the household department, and having a small meeting with several ministers of state affairs, Yinfeng left the government affairs to be dealt with in the palace, led a team of Xiaoqi battalion, and rode to Jingshan .

Since the war with Junggar, Jingshan has long lost its role as a royal hunting ground, and has completely become an arsenal for the Qing Dynasty.

Dai Zi came to pick him up in person.

Although the weapon manufacturing and military factory in Jingshan has matured, he doesn't have to watch it personally, but Dai Zi is still used to coming over to supervise it from time to time.

He and the prince are considered old partners, and they didn't gossip much, so Yinfeng directly explained his intentions.

The first question asked was whether weapons production is still going on today.

Dai Zi is quite proud of this, after all, this is his hard work for several years. Although he has the foreign aid of the prince, to be honest, his political performance is no worse than that of ordinary officials in the capital.Now the Mini projectiles have been mass-produced for a while, and they are more than enough to equip the Jingshi Xiaoqi Battalion.

But after hearing the prince's cryptic revelation that the emperor would remove Jingshan here someday, Dai Zi's frown was so tight that it could pinch the flying insects passing by to death.How proud I was just now, how frustrated I am now.

Anyone who hears that the work that he regards as his life's career can only shine for a short time, and it is impossible to keep his mind calm all the time.

Yinfeng was very satisfied with the effect of his words, if Dai Zi didn't care about it, he would really be anxious to get angry.He unhurriedly handed the blueprint of the revolver to Dai Zi, and said succinctly: "Come and see, is it possible for you to make such a firecracker?"

Dai Zi suppressed the strangeness in his heart, his face softened a little, he took the blueprint calmly, and began to ponder it carefully.

Yinfeng waited patiently for him to watch, then steadily picked up the teacup, and poured himself a drink from the side.

Dai Zi's tea here is naturally not as good as the one in the palace, it's just a bitter taste, and the tea soup is also abnormally cloudy.He took a sip before frowning.Just as he was about to ask Huaiqing to get a new one, he remembered that he had lived with Jin Fu in the kang in Shaanxi, so he gave up.

He suffered so much last year, and after returning to the palace for a few days, he went back to spend a lot of trouble for a sip of tea, which of course was not what he wanted in his heart.

Dai Zi looked at it for a while, then held up the blueprint and asked tentatively, "Where did your Highness get the blueprint of the firecracker?" When he first saw the blueprint, he couldn't help but wonder if he was really talented.Otherwise, no matter how proud and complacent he was with his current achievements, the prince would still be able to produce the blueprint of a new, more powerful firecracker.

How come back to the blueprints of the fire blunderbuss are all obtained from the prince, not improved by himself.

Yinfeng replied without asking: "You only give me an accurate word, whether you can do it or not."

Dai Zi hesitated a little, put aside his self-doubt first, and said respectfully: "After a while, I will definitely be able to figure it out. However, now that His Highness has guessed that the Holy Majesty wants to abandon this place, why bother to work hard?" Drawing a new firecracker?"

It's not that it can't be done, but I doubt whether it is still necessary now?

"I'm just guessing." Seeing that the groundwork is almost done, Yinreng comforted him with a smile: "Whether it is abolished or not depends on what the master does."

"What does your highness say?"

Yinreng put down the teacup, rubbed his hands together, and said to him, "Ama Khan will return to Beijing in two months, if sir can make a more powerful fire according to the drawing Come on, isn't Khan Ama even more disrespectful to Mr.

He glanced at the blast furnace outside, and said pointedly: "At that time, it will be reported here." Show Khan Ama a more powerful one, and he must be embarrassed to order you to withdraw immediately.

Dai Zi was stunned for a moment, wondering why this feeling was so familiar.

The system silently added a narration for him: "Isn't this the first time he asked you to hand over the blueprint? Dai Zi, how can you cooperate so well..."

Yinfeng withdrew his eyes and said with a smile, "Sir, study the blueprint carefully, this firecracker is not difficult to make."

"..." This is probably the feeling of a knowing blow.

If a layman said this, Dai Zi would treat him as ignorant.But the drawings were provided by others, so he could only say: "What Your Highness said is that I will do my best!"

The goal was achieved, and Yinreng set off for the Forbidden City that day.

As expected, Kangxi returned to Beijing two months later.

It's May, and the weather is getting hotter.The people to greet Yujia lined up outside the Meridian Gate.

Instead of waving to the crowd like his later masters, Kangxi rode directly into the Forbidden City in a royal drive.All the ministers followed silently to the Qianqing Palace without even having time to wipe off their sweat. After paying their respects, they withdrew one after another, leaving only the father and son who are the closest relatives of Tian's family to talk.

Yinfeng didn't ask Liang Jiugong to do it, but respectfully brought tea to Kangxi himself.Kangxi smiled and said: "You have done a good job. In the past two months, I have often received invitations from ministers, and the notes are all praises for your hard work in the government."

"My son is ashamed. It was the courtiers who assisted him with all their heart, and also relied on Khan Ama's good teaching." Yinfeng laughed.

After polite compliments, the business begins to go on stage.

Kangxi first talked about the current situation of the disaster-stricken areas visited by the southern tour, and then said: "The number of naval forces in Yao Qisheng's area has tripled, and I think it's about the same. The Japanese pirates don't have the strength they have today."

Yinfeng listened to what he said in silence. The vitality of the three southern provinces had not recovered, and the local taxes must be reduced or exempted.The business that the imperial court relies on is especially important in the south. Without the tax money of these three provinces, Fujian will not be immune to the impact. That's why he, Khan Ama, deliberately stopped Yao Qisheng's naval expansion.

He thought for a while, and didn't directly participate in the opinion, but said: "The son just saw the paper presented by Dai Zi, and he hasn't had time to write a note to Khan Ama in the future."

"Oh?" Kangxi asked, "What did Dai Zi say?"

"The left is just about the artillery and guns at his place. There are more powerful artillery than before. I want Khan Ama to take a look. But if you want to ask Yao Qisheng to stop, I will tell him to stop there too. That's right."

Kangxi raised his eyelids and gave his son a look, and said with a half-smile, "I don't know why Yao Qisheng has something to do with Dai Zi." He intended to ask Dai Zi to put down his job in Jingshan and continue to work in Southern Calligraphy, but This can't be said yet.Where there is war if the guarantee is not complete, it is not always easy to empty the hero now.

He deeply suspected that his son was playing tricks in private again when he didn't know, and colluded with courtiers behind his back.Otherwise, how could the two frontier ministers who had no connection between the south and the north be so lightly tied together.

Yinfeng's expression was not obvious, but he was still calm, "My son has read Yao Qisheng's book, and it is true that the Fujian navy is full of soldiers, but the artillery on the ship is still the style of the Ming Dynasty, and its power is much worse than Dai Zi's new mother-in-law cannon. My son intends to ask Dai Zi to put the cannon he made on a newly built ship in Fujian, so that it can add some firepower to Yao Qisheng."

"This is a good thing," Kangxi said, "Fei Yanggu also made a contribution for Dai Zi, praising the power of the artillery made by Dai Zi."

Yinfeng pretended to be embarrassed, "But now that Khan Ama deliberately told Yao Qisheng to stop, Erchen had no choice but to tell Dai Zi to stop."

Strictly speaking, Dai Zi is really not an official of the Eastern Palace faction, but because he has been almost always supported and promoted by Yinfeng, he has been classified as a prince faction invisibly.So when Yinfeng said this, Kangxi didn't realize that the prince had no right to stop it.

But Master Kang's mind is always exquisite, and he knows what his son is going to do after a little thought, and he said lightly: "You are still pretending to be this strange in front of me, as if I can't see that you want to keep Jingshan?"

Since he wanted to talk about it, Yinfeng simply stopped pretending, "Khan Ama Shengming, I just feel that it's a pity for Dai Zi's mind and many previous preparations. Nowadays, the imperial court's money is a bit difficult, but if it stops at Jingshan, I'm afraid that the surrounding foreign countries will start to covet the idea again."

This statement is half true and half false. Since Russia was conquered, other small countries have even less dared to challenge the Qing Dynasty.

Kangxi pondered for a while, then stared at his son and asked, "What else, let's talk about it together."

Yinfeng was already prepared, and handed over his draft request to expand Jingshan's steelmaking scale, and said cautiously: "My son is just thinking about it in his free time, if Khan Ama doesn't mean it, just reprimand him. "

Anyway, he must finish this matter. If the court lacks money, he will find a way to earn more money. If he can't do it this time, he will ask for an order next time.

Kangxi raised his eyebrows, but he didn't take it, but pointed out: "I see that your hand gestures are wide now."
